8 Habits Of Highly Effective Google Managers

Google's "people operations" team (HR) has applied the Google Way
(data analytics) to management analysis and developed a manifesto
entitled Eight Habits Of Highly Effective Google
Managers.

Google has used this manifesto to turn crappy managers into
acceptable ones.

How?

By teaching them the basics.

Specifically, the manifesto has helped engineering geniuses who
know how to write code but have no idea how to manage people
learn how to manage people.

Not surprisingly, it turns out that the eight habits of highly
effective Google managers are the same as the eight habits of
highly effective managers everywhere!

Courtesy of the New York Times, which edited the Google manifesto
and wrote
more about it here, here are the eight habits of highly
effective Google managers and three pitfalls. The "good
habits" are listed in order of priority, from most-important to
least-important.
